Abstract
Results of the studies of variability of the morphological attributes and numbers of chromosomes in the populations of R. altaicus s.l., R. sulphureus subsp. exaltatus and R. schmakovii are presented. The methods of unidimensionаl and multivariate analysis were applied: princiрal-component method, discriminаnt and variance anаlysis. As a result, two buttercup subspecies were distinguished at the territory of the Altay mountain territory (R. altaicus subsp. altaicus, R. altaicus subsp. frigidus), as well as new taxons R. sulphureus subsp. exaltatus и R. schmakovii.
